How to Start with Metatrader 5 - page 111

MetaTrader 5 has many useful features that a trader would need, regardless of their trading style, including a possible access to a live news feed. It provides traders with invaluable context that may have some effect on the markets. The only limitation is the scope of the news provided. I believe, traders could benefit from having access to a more flexible news feed that allows the ability to not only choose the kind of news but also its source.

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate to the programmers who have already mastered MQL5, one of the variants for realizing Momentum Pinball TS, in which simplified methods of object-oriented programming will be applied. From the full-fledged OOP, the code will differ by the absence of classes - they will be replaced by structures. As opposed to classes, design in the code and application of objects of this type differs minimally from the procedural programming familiar to most starting coders. On the other hand, features being provided by structures are more than enough to resolve such tasks.

The strategy (described on the article) is based on the following book -

Published in 1996 and written by Larry Connors and "New Market Wizard"
Linda Raschke. This 245 page manual is considered by many to be one of
the best books written on trading futures. Twenty-five years of combined
trading experience is divulged as you will learn 20 of their best
strategies.

Among the methods you will be taught are:

*
Swing Trading - The backbone of Linda's success. Not only will you learn
exactly how to swing trade, you will also learn specific advanced
techniques never before made public! * News - Among the strategies
revealed is an intra-day news strategy they use to exploit the herd when
the 8:30am economic reports are released. This strategy will be
especially appreciated by bond traders and currency traders. *
Pattern Recognition - You will learn some of the best short-term set-up
patterns available. Larry and Linda will also teach you how they combine
these patterns with other strategies to identify explosive moves. *
ADX - In our opinion, ADX is one of the most powerful and misunderstood
indicators available to traders. Now, for the first time, they reveal a
handful of short-term trading strategies they use in conjunction with
this terrific indicator. * Volatility - You will learn how to identify markets that are about to explode and how to trade these exciting situations.
* Also, included are chapters on trading volatility, trading Crabel,
trading the smart money index, trading gap reversals, a special chapter
on professional money management, and many other trading strategies!

New MetaTrader 5 Platform Build 1745

The MetaTrader 5 platform update will be released on January 12, 2018.

MetaTrader 5 build 1745 will be the last platform version supporting Microsoft Windows XP/2003/VistaA few months ago, we announced end of support for older versions of operating systems.
Windows 2003, Windows Vista and especially Microsoft Windows XP are
outdated operating systems. Microsoft ended support for Windows XP three
years ago, because potential hardware capabilities could no longer be
realized on this system due to technical limitations.

MetaTrader
5 build 1745 and older versions will continue to work on the above
operating systems, but will no longer receive updates. Platform
installers will not run on these operating systems.

The minimum
required operating system version for running MetaTrader 5 is Windows 7.
However, we strongly recommend using the 64-bit version of Windows 10.

The new version features the following changes:

Terminal: The /auto key has been added to the installer, allowing to install the program in automated mode without additional actions required from the user. When the installer is launched with this key, installation settings will not be shown to the user, and the terminal will be installed at the standard path, with the standard Start menu folder name for the program. Example of such launch:

C:\mt5setup.exe /auto

Terminal: Fixed installer operation in cases when the user does not have appropriate operating system permissions.

Terminal:
Fixed excessive consumption of CPU resources when no actions are
performed in the terminal (when there are no open charts and no actions
are performed by the user).

Terminal: The new version features automatic compression of *.log files at the file system level. The new functionality allows reducing the amount of disk space used by logs.

Tester:
The amount of cache during single test runs has been increased. This
provides faster testing in 64-bit operating systems.

We recommend anyone who has long been using 32-bit Wine for
MetaTrader 5 due to the past incompatibility with the 64-bit terminal to
upgrade Wine to the latest 64-bit version and re-install MetaTrader 5
in 64 bits.

Besides, make sure to set the Wine compatibility mode to at least
Windows 7 instead of the default Windows XP. No more updates for Windows
XP/2003/Vista will be released.

We are also halting the development of the 32-bit versions of the
MetaTrader 5 terminals. The updates for 32-bit MetaTrader 5 are to be
completely stopped soon.
